  3. Corisin

Corisin is a pro-apoptotic small peptide produced by Staphylococcus species. Corisin binds to serum albumin to target organs such as the lungs and kidneys, induces cellular senescence, apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and accelerates the progression of organ fibrosis including pulmonary fibrosis and diabetic renal fibrosis. Corisin levels are closely associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-diabetic CKD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Description

Corisin is a pro-apoptotic small peptide produced by Staphylococcus species. Corisin binds to serum albumin to target organs such as the lungs and kidneys, induces cellular senescence, apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and accelerates the progression of organ fibrosis including pulmonary fibrosis and diabetic renal fibrosis. Corisin levels are closely associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-diabetic CKD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Corisin (48 h) significantly increases phosphatidylserine externalization in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and this effect is blocked by anti-Corisin monoclonal antibodies[1].
Corisin (5 μM; 24 h) significantly enhances tissue factor activity in A549 alveolar epithelial cells, THP-1 monocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and this effect is reversed by anti-Corisin monoclonal antibody or anti-TF antibody[1].
Corisin (5 μM; 24 h) significantly reduces thrombomodulin activity in A549 alveolar epithelial cells, THP-1 monocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and this effect is reversed by anti-Corisin monoclonal antibodies[1].
Corisin (20-40 μg/mL; 24-48 h) promotes apoptosis, disrupts cell cycle progression and reduces proliferative activity in normal human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, human Caki-2 renal tubular epithelial cells and normal human podocytes, while anti-Corisin monoclonal antibodies inhibit these effects[2].
Corisin (20-40 μg/mL; 48 h) induces cellular senescence in human Caki-2 renal tubular epithelial cells, normal human primary renal tubular epithelial cells, and normal human primary podocytes, which is characterized by increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, altered expression of senescence marker genes, and abnormal nuclear morphology. This effect is inhibited by anti-Corisin monoclonal antibodies[2].
Corisin (20-40 μg/mL; 48 h) induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human normal primary podocytes and human normal primary renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, which is characterized by changes in cell morphology and upregulated expression of mesenchymal marker genes, while anti-corisin monoclonal antibodies inhibit these effects[2].
Stimulation of primary human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells with Corisin (20 μg/mL; 24 h) activates pathways associated with DNA damage response, cellular senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, and myofibroblast-like differentiation[2].
Corisin (0.5-50 μM; 16-48 h) induces dose-dependent apoptosis in A549 alveolar epithelial cells[3].

In Vivo

Corisin (5 mg/kg; i.p.; three times per week for 2 weeks) significantly exacerbates renal fibrosis and renal function injury in TGFβ1 transgenic mice by promoting inflammatory responses and fibrotic changes[2].
Corisin (administered intratracheally; once daily for 2 consecutive days) induces acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis in TGFβ1 TG mice, which is characterized by significant increases in pulmonary inflammation, collagen deposition, levels of profibrotic mediators, and epithelial cell apoptosis[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: TGFβ1 transgenic (female, 9 weeks old)[2]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; thrice weekly; 2 weeks
Result: Elevated urinary levels of corisin, albumin, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio significantly compared to scrambled peptide-treated mice.
Elevated plasma blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) levels significantly compared to scrambled peptide-treated mice.
Elevated plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide-induced CXC chemokine (LIX/CXCL5), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), tissue factor (TF), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) significantly compared to scrambled peptide-treated mice.
Increased mean circulating corisin levels to 2.2-fold higher than those in diabetic CKD patients and 1.6-fold higher than those in diabetic TGFβ1 transgenic mice.
Increased renal fibrotic changes significantly compared to scrambled peptide-treated mice.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
